Turkey Time!

Turkey
Time! I love holiday themes. I could spend hours creating activities around these themes. However, in order to
keep my time well balanced, I've created theme materials to coordinate with my November
lessons.

We are estimating sums and differences in
math by roundingright now, so I have Turkey/Thanksgiving creations centered around
this. My mini Thanksgiving Unit contains an Estimating Sums by rounding color
code activity. The students color a turkey's feathers based on the rounded sum for
each feather.

I also noticed thatmy students are able to
add well, but are weaker in basic subtraction facts. I created subtraction fact
cards with Thanksgiving Clipart, laminated a couple of sets, and put them in freezer sized plastic bags with the laminated answer keys. I put the bags out
as extra practice when finished with work.My Turkey Subtraction Facts are free at my TPT store. Enjoy!

I'm linking up with Beach Sand & Lesson Plans for Thanksgiving ideas. Through this link party we are sharing favorite Thanksgiving read alouds. One of my all time favorites is T'was the Night Before Thanksgiving. It is fun and the children love it.

I need to check out your Thanksgiving pack. My 4th graders need a lot of practice with basic facts and rounding! Feel free to stop by my blog to get a free turkey number pattern worksheet.:)KristiniTeach 1:1
